They do say tlfat the latest notion
among the young ladies is "hair al
bum" - gentlemen's hair. Young
men are besought for lock of hair,
and the request is such a fiattering
one that they are only too happy to
comply when the right damsels
apply. The contribution is tied with
a blue ribbon and goes into the ''hsir
album" along with the hair of a
crowd of other fellows. Over it will
be written the name, age, color OF
eyes, date OF receiving the memento,
and general remarks as to personal
appearance, etc, which may or may
not be complimentary, as the album
is never to be seen by any other than
feminine eyes. The young ladies are
as proud of their trophies as the In
dian warrior is OF the scalp he takes.

REVENUE LEGISLATION.

1t II Not Believed Congress VIII Take Any
Action This Session.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.-The Star this evening
says it is the general impression in the House
that all efforts to harmonize upon revenue bill
this session will fail, and that no measure what
ever will pass through the House The move
ment of the Randall men will 60 on until checked
by some action by the House, but that it will
lead to any legislation is doubted. What it is
expected to result in by some of those most in
terested in the question is an extra session OF
Congress. A very well informed tariff reformer
told Star reporter to-day that he expected an
extra session to be called to meet in October.
Other members expressed the same opinion.
Meanwhile it is expected that the surplus in the
Treasury will be greatly reduced by the calls of
bonds that may be redeemed, and by the pay
ments on account of the Mexican and the three
months service pension bills. tis believed that
no estimate anywhere approaching the amount
of these pensions has yet been made.
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1887-02-03

Treasury OF large sums of money, not only to re-
fund the principal but to pay other sums for in
terest and cost of suit ! sincerely wish that
Congress would consider such of the amend
ments as are to that end presented in the ac-
companying bill, and definitely express its will,
20 that in the future there will not, the arti-
eles covered thereby, be protests, suits or re-
funds"
Further on, the Secretary says his general di-
rections have been and are, when new ambgui-
ties and new questions are presented to the de-
partment, to give the importer and consumer
the benefit of the doubt, so that moneys should
not be exacted from citizens as taxes when the
law-making power has used ambiguous
language The Secretary concludes his letter
with this earnest appeal for the passage Of the
bill: My attention has not, excepting as al
ready stated. been called to anything in the
measure now presented to me by you that
desire to modify, and earnestly wish that this
bill, only to reform administrative methods, may
not be longer suspended in the embraces OF
rival theories for reducing that surplus taxatiori
which now SO seriously threatens the public
welfare

THE VIRGINIA COUPON ACTS.
Judge Bond, Of the United States District
Court, Decides Them Unconstitutional.
pecial to the indianapolis Journal.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
BALTIMORE, Feb. Judge Bond, sitting
as the United States District Court of Eastern
Virginia heard an interesting to-day, in
volvirg the consttutionality of the Virginia
coupon acts of 1885 and 1886. The case was on
a petition of Richard l.. Fitzgerald, shoe sales
man of Philadelphia. He, on Dec 10, 1886, de-
posted with G. Greenhow, treasurer of Rich
mond, 500 in Virginia coupons and $l.75 in
United States money for license to sell goods
by sample in Virginia. Fitzgerald was arrested
on Jan. %, on the charge of selling goods with
out license, the treasurer having refused to
cept the coupons in payment of the license as
the act states that coupons offered must be
accompanied by the sarne value in United
States money. the money to be held by the
treasurer until the coupons are ascertained to
be genuine. Judge Bond discharged Fitzgerald,
and in giving his opinion, said that the acts of
1885 and 1886 constitute one law, although
passed at different times, and holds that they
unconstitutional because they impair the
coupon act, which provides that coupons shall
be received in payment of all public dues and
taxes. Virginia has made the coupons as much
of a legal tender for public dues and taxes as
is a greenback, and it is not necessary to
show what impairment it would be to the
value of the latter did its genuine character
have to be proved every time it is offered in
payment of deN. Attorney general Ayres
of Richmond, who represented the State of
Virginia, asked for an appeal. which was
granted.
